For your budget and intended usage, i find these headphones suitable;

Sennheiser HD485
Audio Technica A500
AKG K530

* > = better than

The sound;
-detail, clarity & soundstage: A500 > K530 > HD485
-bass: K530 > HD485 > A500

Comfort;
-for big ears like yours, i would say: A500 > K530 > HD485

Since you'll be using a laptop as source, i don't think you gonna have any problems driving them cans.

i think will consider A500....been considering it for long time d after all most ppl recommend it

I also think you should go for A500 just to be safe. Tho i personally prefer the K530. But hey, you pick your own poison, right? lol

huh...u prefer AKG? better quality?plz describe

The K530 has a big sound accompanied by deep bass that's not boomy at all, which is just perfect for my taste.

In any case, i'd prefer K530 as i find the bass is more exciting and appealing than the A500.

btw which is the best under rm300? i need it for movies & music too

Beyerdynamics DT231, Audio Technicas AD300/A300 or M30 perhaps.

overall quality K530 stands out or juz the punchy bass? btw i cant find anyone selling it leh...in forum

Davis r selling them...

hehe yahor din see the list carefully...thanks

what about creative aurvana live and dj?
cuz i was heading to the pc fair in kl convention center
and they're selling it there
any reviews/price range/drawbacks?

Don't get Creative headphones. Nuff said..

IMHO, there's no exact winner in sound quality between these two. It is simply a toss-up, because both have different approach.

I said that i prefer the K530 over A500 because to me the bass of K530 is more presentable than the A500. But others with brighter taste might lean more towards A500.

While the K530 may emphasized more on bass, the A500 have better clarity & detail and wins over K530 on that area. That said, this is just my opinion based on my personal preference. So your mileage may vary.

And you don't have to take everything i've said word for word. Think carefully what kinda sound fits your taste before you go spending precious money on any of these cans.

Got it bro...thanks for advice n suggestions

i know my question may be a silly one but is it possible to get a decent headphone under Rm150?

It is a silly question. Nah, i'm just jerkin' yer chain. lols

Philips SHP8900 is a pretty decent choice. Tho it may be priced higher but it shouldn't cost you more than RM200. Depends on which shop you go i guess.

Or you could try check out Audio Technicas here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/601859

The ATH-T22, ATH-T44, or ATH-M20 should be within your budget.
